Gina, I just must say that I'm in love with your site. We have tried a variety of your recipes (Asian meatballs, pork BBQ, sante fe chicken) and have loved every single one. I will be trying these muffins this weekend!

Just made these tonight :) Used banana puree instead of papaya... they were SO good! Obviously papaya would have been better I would imagine thats why you picked it :) but i had bananas that HAD to be used so I did those instead! Thank you!

I just made these and had to bring out the serious will power to stop eating! They were so delicious and I still can't believe they are only 3 points. Much better than a 3 point vita muffin! Thanks Gina.

Hi Gina,My sister in-law got me in touch with your site. I just pulled the muffins out of the oven. YUMMY!! One question...do these freeze well? I tend to make muffins ahead of time and freeze several batches...thaw overnight in the fridge, then pop into the oven or microwave. Breakfast...done!Thanks!

I*ve never ever had Papaye before. I*m madly in love with Coconut though. And even though I*m not sure if I even like Papaya, these are calling to me. I can*t keep my eyes off this recipie thinking it will be delicious!!! Can*t wait to try it!! Any hints on what Papaya actually tastes like?? You said above melon. Like a Cantelope??

gina, I love your website. Such wonderful recipes. I have a question on these. In the recipe it calls for one large egg and then later on in the directions it says Mix the eggs. Is there more than one egg needed? And is the batter pretty stiff?

Hi!!!I really do hope some one reads this comment!!!!Can I use Splenda instead of real sugar? I have type 1 diabetes and I am constantly looking for ways to lower sugar grams contentthanks!!!If I use pinaple, don´t you think they will ferment? Go bad because of the acidity of pinaple??

I know you highly recommend the whole wheat pastry flour, but I live in South Korea and am lucky to get whole wheat flour, lol. In a pinch can I use whole wheat flour?? There maybe one place in Seoul that I can check for it, but just in case they don't have it....

I currently live in Hawaii.. and LOVE LOVE LOVE Papaya!!! I have some in the fridge I think I'm going to turn into these muffins. =) As always.. thanks for the awesome recipe's. I have spread them around at my weightwatchers meeting. And a couple of the ladies come to my house after the meeting for dinner, and there is usually one of your recipe's on the menu. I even have ladies wishing they were invited! LOL. I can't wait to try these!!

Thanks to this recipe I found out that papayas STINK! I couldn't even make the recipe because everyone was complaining about the smell of it when I was cutting it up! lol How do you get past the smell??

ps. Trying another fruit for these muffins next time! I know they will be delicious!

I am not fond of papayas,but these were delicious. I made a batch for my picky son with chocolate chips on top, and he loved it. I was wondering if the papaya purée would work with your box-cake recipe(sub the pumpkin)? Not sure if it would be too runny.

I just made these for the second time but decided to exeperiment a little. I had some cream of coconut I needed to use up so I used 1/2 cup of it in place of the sugar and shredded coconut. Delicious :)

I made this yesterday and th results were okay. I only had 2/3 cup of papaya so I used a 1/3 of applesauce too, and I made it into a bread instead of muffins and baked it for longer. It's kinda dry and doesn't have a lot of flavor. Next time I will try to get more papaya and maybe add some coconut extract too.
